Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

7:15 pm

Mr. Declan Casey:

The proposal introduces a number of funding sources from those subject to supervision by the European authorities, through the national competent authorities. The proposals suggest a capping of the EU element - the 40% - but that becomes a balancing figure. We can then see the 60%-40% split altering in time, and then we would see a potential dilution of the EU institutions' influence over the authority.
